I once knew a swedish artist, he painted like you. He lived about 1920 - I've forgot his name - your paintings just remind me him - wonderful!

[MrsCatification]

@mirekkuzniar

How interesting Mirek! I wonder who that painter is? It was a male artist? If it was during the 1920 it might been some of the painters from what we called "the Halmstad group" - who painted in a kind of surreal and naive style. If you come to remember the name it would be nice to know who it was. Thank you for your comment!

Very original painting - brilliant!

[MrsCatification]

@TheBarrettMusic

Oh, some of my "Gods" - if I should have paint them all I would have needed a giant canvas! Love jazz and blues! Thank you!

[CurtisMateer]

Cool, I really like this one (or is it hot?:o)

[MrsCatification]

@CurtisMateer

Well, the music is both hot and cool!!! And, well, I guess the painting is too! :-)

[Blues794]

What a wonderful concept! You have many of my "hero's" in your painting of "Roots". I love it! Please do more!

[MrsCatification]

@Blues794

Thank you so much for your nice comment! Yes, I will surely do more paintings of my favorite musicians, but now I am working with a wedding-gift for my sisters daughter.

Viveca :-)

Viveca Thanx for sending me this,,very nice piece of work you have done here,so that is your bass to?,,also it's nice too see what you look like finally,,Karl is a lucky man :)

[MrsCatification]

@theebluesman

Thank you Tim! Yes that is my Sandberg bass. It´s a very nice bass with slim neck and not to heavy body. It sounds good too...at least when I play good from time to time! :-) But now I have something wrong with the electronic and will have to fix that. Glad to hear that you are back jamming again!

Viveca

PS. Well I don´t know if Karl feel as a lucky man...beauty is not everything!!! LOL (just a joke my friend)

[Christophee123]

Härligt tavla viveca, känns nästan psykadeliskt! ^^ (fin bas med)...

[MrsCatification]

@Christophee123

Tack så mycket! Mmm, min Sandberg bas är riktigt fin, lite krångel med elektroniken bara.

Tack för den vänliga kommentaren!

[laurenkaymusic]

I love it! Thanks for the bop and the view...I really needed it! :D

[MrsCatification]

@laurenkaymusic

A little be-bop can put light in life! Some tunes of Bird and your mind feels lighter! Music is magic and so is painting!

Viveca ;-)

[cinderellalifestyle]

Viveca, it is just beautiful, I cannot tell you HOW beautiful, and amazing to me....it is ALIVE and vibrant, with feeling and colour!!!! gorgeous and you are too!!! love the setting/dress and smile are as light and joyous as the painting. :-) :-)

XOs, Laurie

[MrsCatification]

@cinderellalifestyle

Thank you Laurie! I am touched by your kind words. Glad you like the painting! Hope you will soon be in shape again, so we may hear more wonderful songs!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs, Viveca

[Radioviewer]

Wow! Bebop from the Birdman, and your beautiful work of art. Your palette is bolder in this one. Your exquisite facial renderings of these musical giants are superb, well-detailed, with their full personalities leaping out from the canvas at the viewer. Brava!

[MrsCatification]

@Radioviewer

Thank you! I really appreciate your more than kind review on my painting! Bird is one of my absolute favorites. But I love all the musicians on that painting, I hope it shows. Then I felt a bit guilty of leaving out others of my favorites! Thank you kindly for your support!

Viveca

@TheThreeJays79

I salute you and thank you deeply for your kind review!

A vividly detailed and alive painting Viveca! You are so talented and the proof is here in this video! Well done and I encourage you to keep 'em coming!!

[MrsCatification]

@017mls

Thank you Mike! I would have had to paint an entire forest to cover all the jazz and blues musicians that I love!!! :-)

But this painting shows a few who represent the roots of blues, jazz, rock and pop. Thanks for your support and your kind comment! Good night!

Viveca

[catanddave]

Oh Viveca... this is simply amazing!!!!!! agree with Mrs Scooter..I love the jazz! The colour, the energy, the music is alive and emitting! Fine detail and personality...not often you get both combined...So proud of you!

xxxxxxx

[MrsCatification]

@catanddave

Thank you sweet Cat! I do appreciate your support! And I am happy that you like it! I have been struggling with it for about two months and now it´s ready at last. I am happy that it is presented with the music I love and I think the photos are better this time than in my other presentations of paintings.

Take care now!

Viveca xxxx

[catanddave]

@MrsCatification Well worth the struggle then...oh and painting at 2 in the morning...I think it's the best time to paint! xxxxxxxx
